So to preface i did a whole run as a necromancer and am partway though a bow based run also though the class i wanted to play was druid sadly that was not a functional class so hard to test something that does not work in the first place.
The good
- Atmosphere and overall landscape visuals are a smash hit good job
- Other players dont annoy me as much as i thought they would so good job there i guess.
- Necromancer and bow usage seems well designed though the skill branch worries me a bit
- What voice acting exists is well done
- Dungeons feel expansive
- I love the open world map and buildings
The bad
- Cellars are worthless traps and require a loading screen two ways LAAME
- Every dungeon is the same basically, fetch the key type nonsense
- Some classes like druid completely ignore the lore
- Druids do not visually reflect how they are described in the lore please read your own lore
- Speaking of visuals character customization is pure garbage with zero real options outside of skintone and eye color which is well done.
- world bosses have timers to fight them… world bosses have player caps that don’t also restrict low level trash players from causing raid to fail.
- no wasd for movement seriously?
- no separate key for ultimate? then ultimate might as well not exist.
- I have trouble telling male and female bow users apart.
- stop punishing your players for the inappropriate behavior of your staff not every character has to be ugly just because your employees can’t keep their hands off people
- Skill tree is more like a small branch? wtf
- too much power sits in items instead of the skill tr…branch
- why do druids even need horses? so you can sell horse skins to them? don’t be lame let them travel fast in wolf form just sell wolf skins instead.
- Limited dialog every character responds the same to the cold i was expecting the barbarian to say ah I feel like i’m home again but nope she whined she was… cold…
- limited quest outcomes, i was requested to cheer the troops i choose to mock them instead and nothing happened, lame, want to skip burning the sin into the pyre and just directly enter the city? nope. barbarians should be able to threaten the guard same with necromancers, maybe sorcerers could laugh and teleport past the gate and druids could threaten to fart i guess.
What i see says this game needs at least 8 more months since you have to overhaul druids and make a new model for them and add more character customization in general, it has good bones but you need to put in more time and work yet.
